Sat: fill out quarterly forms and write checks, make a new tree climbing rope with 2 eye splices, Find out I've blistered my hand making eye splices. Sunday: Meet up with CJZ and drive to Index, climb R's Corner and Bfast of Champs. In the process I pop all my blisters. Decide to quit climbing. After we quit climbing CJZ wanted to check out Zeke's. We drove up to the clearcut and started following these two kids on 4 wheelers (boy and girl). They got ahead of us after one switchback in the road, but we caught up with them and see the girl with her 4 wheeler parked in the road while she looks off the edge of the road. We get out of the truck and find out that the boy gunned his 4 wheeler and jumped off the road. He was standing in this brush pile about 50 feet down the hill and his 4 wheeler was nowhere in sight. We scrambled down to him and checked him out. he was fine, so we brushwacked a little lower to find his rig sitting on its side. So CJZ and I were both hoping for some action, but nothing seemed to be happening, so we hiked back up to the truck and talked to these 2 drunk dirt bike guys who had stopped to check things out. Anyway nothing was going on, so we cruised up to the boulderfield and looked at some of the problems. After a while we headed back down to the wreck site and there were the parents of the two kids. The father hiked down to the 4 wheeler and decided that he would drive it to the road below. Anyway we hung out hoping for some more action but nothing happened, so we split.

phuck yeah.

Fuck off! You fucking fuck.

here's my take Prepare the basics before you go. They want passports nowadays so get one. Always look the border gaurd in the eye and be conversational; listen to what they ask. When ask a question elaborate a little but not too much. Usually when they start to fuck with you they will ask the same question over and over; when you notice this give them a slightly sarcastic answer so they know you're on to them. Having a nicely cleaned vehicle, a haircut, and a shave are highly recomended!

You better cut WA pass from your list. Washed out

You've managed to to convince most people here you're a Jackass Paul. I don't visit the site, but I hear you're all nice and shit over on Turns All Year.

"What do you mean you can't take any more?" Gort boy

"Hi ladys, I'm Dr BJ Sooner and I'm conducting a study on breast cancer. I'm looking for some volunteers..."

You got fired cause you showed up an hour early to a job?

A standard tie off for a tree top is a clove hitch with 2 half hitches to back it up (due to the knot rolling problem)

Paddling is gay. Why else would kayakers wear spray skirts
-
If you were hard working like some of us you would like the fact that you can get up while it's light for a little longer.

CBS Clove hitches have an equal strenght to 8s in fact if you look at some ratings they have more. 75% at least acording to some sites. But websites are bullshit. The clove hitch is the standard knot for lowering large limbs and tops of trees while removing trees. I submit to you that tree guys have a lot more practical experience with loading knots than an unemployed chemist with 2 years of climbing experience. As for you man/boy Paul, give it up. You're beat and you know it.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

We've proved how little you know about knots Paul

Yosemite Bowline This knot was sent to me by Bonnie Crystal. This is a variant of the basic bowline which gets around the problem of the knot loosening itself by taking the end of the rope and threading it back through the knot. This is a neat alternative to using a half-hitch to secure the end of the rope and the resulting knot has the strength of a figure of eight. source

Like? Like knots, climbing gear, climbing IcyBC, climbing in general, etc. Face it you're a worthless fuck; and that's one of the reasons you've never got laid. In case you didn't know; your priest sodomising you doesn't count as getting laid.

Crack, you've proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are young inexperienced and stupid. Of course that picture of you hangdogging the shit out of an easy ice climb proved that earlier.

WTF is a 'yosemite boline'? Only mounties do this. A) you're an idiot if you don't know a yosemite boline B) Tree guys tie clove hitches backed up with two half hitches all the time. I know you weigh a lot, but I shock load logs that weigh more than you all the time and the knot works great.
-
Dear punk ass beotch, A) Yosemite boline (at the very least) not a regular boline B) Clove hitch slip can be prevented by tying two half hitches to back it up.

I love over the hill, British rockers shittiest albums

Exactly! So cite them CBS...you've earned your way on to my list of untrusted spewers.
